Predators vs Avalanche Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Avalanche to pick up on a win over the Predators at home. With the moneyline sitting at -151, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Avalanche straight-up.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Avalanche to secure the win and cover. Expect the Avalanche to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Predators.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
